In
this short project you will expand your Knowledge and skill level of
Digital Photography.
You will compose a humorous
illusion image consisting of yourself or someone you know
(perhaps a group) in a diminutive form set in a context that appears to
be much larger. In other words you are
creating a "minime"
>
work alone or in a small group
> the chosen environment will be in rm 23
> the subject is yourself or group members
> 8" x 10" high res = 150 or 300 pix/inch
> include a short caption using talk bubbles in PhotoShop
> TELL A STORY SNIPPET in pictures
Preproduction
: brainstorm and consider various
possibilities given the limitations of your environment!
(what can you use nearby for the enlarged
environment, what is the posture of the subject, what do you want to say?)
What to consider
> observe the shadows in your base photo the subject image should have
similar shadowing (difficult)
> will the subject cast a shadow?
> scale down significantly to make it humorous
> there are lots of plants and animals in the room!!
> generate a simple humourous statement early and match your production
Production Tips :
> make a plan
> use the eraser tool to make the subject appear to be behind something
> use shadow drops ( burn tool) to give presence to the subject
(get the correct light
angle!!!)
> some photo enhancement might be helpful to match up the subject and
background
Post production
: you will print out in
letter sized paper
and hopefully place
2 images on one print
then laminate
the printout slice for sizing
